boolean result of loop

[Skaperen]

you can do

if 'foo' in d:
    something = d['foo']
else:
    something = False

or you can do

something = d.get('foo',False)

see... 1 statement instead of 4

bonus points: who can show how to do this in 1 statement for a sequence

if x < len(s):
    something = s[x]
else:
    something = False
